This trip was successful and yet a disaster. I had two transactions planned out, but the store was out of a lot of the things I had planned on getting and then there were deals that did not include certain varieties I thought they did. Thankfully I brought back up coupons with me, but I only ended up doing one transaction.
Here is what my grocery list started out as. ( I did not get all of the items on this list).
Since my dad was waiting outside to give Tim and I a ride with our groceries I was trying to rush. My other problem was just having someone else with me. Last time I did a big transaction I worked my way through the store pretty quickly and I didn't forget anything on my list. This time however I completely skipped one section on my list that included Axe shampoo, Caress body wash and Degree deodorant. Just thinking about what products I forgot it's not a big deal because I already have a stockpile of these things at home, but those items were essential to me getting $7 back to use on a future shopping trip. At the register I already had the cashier go through the transaction once because I hadn't gotten my $10 off for purchasing 6 Keebler products, but it was because she had skipped scanning one, so that was easily remedied. Then I had to ask about why I didn't get the $7 back, she directed me to someone else and then that person directed me to another person. This is when I discovered it was my mistake because I forgot some items. (I was so embarassed, then I was upset).
I hate forgetting things and was even more mad that I didn't get all the deals I had planned on. Anyways here is my list from yesterday, highlighted are the items that will be added to the wedding stockpile. the Ragu sauce is all that I know will not leave the stockpile, but if I happen to run out of dressing in the fridge or decide to make some chicken on the stove I may use the homestyle stock, but that pasta sauce is not going anywhere.
